Toronto Challenge

Canada | OM International

Toronto Challenge, themed "Making friends...introducing our best Friend," started on July 19 with a group of 44 participants. Team members came from Germany, UK, Finland, USA, and Canada, 19 of whom are from the host church, Morningstar Christian Fellowship. During the first two days the team learned how to share their faith and reach out to people.

The outreach, still in progress, is being held in the greater Toronto area of five million people. During the week the group will visit a mosque and Buddhist temple. In the evenings they will hold special prayer evangelism outreach. On their night of prayer, they also plan to do door-to-door ministry to ask people how they can pray for them. For many on the team this will be their first time sharing their faith. The group will also spend a day ministering to immigrants in Canada, which will also include hands-on ministry to the homeless and people on the street.

Please pray that the participants' hearts will be filled with compassion as they reach out to the people in Toronto. Pray that many will turn to Christ. Pray that through these visits they will be able to forge relationships and make follow-up visits with those that are worshipping at the Muslim and Buddhist sites.
